At KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Institute), radioactive soil and concrete wastes with extremely low level of activity were regulatory cleared in 2008 and large amount of spent drums remained. After generation, drums having good physical integrity reused for packaging radioactive wastes and about 50 tons of drums unsuitable for reuse were stored as radioactive wastes. Having once been used for packaging regulatory cleared radioactive wastes, these spent drums were determined to be regulatory cleared. Before regulatory clearance, steel drums were radiation monitored, washed with pressurized water two times, compacted and stored at a designated area. Based on radiological dose assessment results using a recycling scenario derived from actual situation, the regulatory clearance of steel drums was permitted by the regulatory body. Treatment of the regulatory cleared drums was then committed to a scrap-metal dealer for recycling. In this study, a process of regulatory clearance for spent steel drums and a modified radiological dose assessment model for staff members of a scrap-metal dealer will be discussed.

Abstract Patient and occupational dose rates due to psammotherapy (sand therapy) and climatotherapy treatments in high natural background areas in Egypt have been evaluated. Monte Carlo mathematical simulations using adult human phantoms were applied to consider the effect of elevated 238U, 232Th and 40K concentrations and the nonhomogeneous distribution of natural radionuclides in beach sand. Three situations: phantom covered by sand or lying on the beach and points in air at several heights above sand level, were considered. The gamma-ray doses per treatment were calculated at a reference point located on the phantom surface centrally above the genital area. The thus calculated patient-absorbed-dose ranges at this reference point were 0.006–0.018 mGy and 0.004–0.023 mGy per climatotherapy and psammotherapy treatments, respectively.
